They have raised more money than they know what to do with, and are contemplating the building of virtu- ally new church edifce, at cost of about $1O,0OO. They only need $S,000 more to do it with and they think if they can only get Mir Webster up there another Sunday he will raise it, inas- much as he feels confident that one church member will give $5, 900 toward a new church, at least he '' struck her" for that amount and she did not posi- lively say she would not give it..

Lady Pr'bationers Among the Sick-A
Trying Sort of Work.

The modern nurse is usually well edu-
Gated and refined woman, who has undergone
long period of scientific training. She is
well read i'll pharmacy and therapeutics,
keeps skeleton in her cupboard and takes
in The Lancet The fault to which she is
most prone is to regard her patients as leases"
and to forget the essentially wonanly part
of her calling.
Most of our large hospitals now take lady
probationers for term not less than three
months on payment of guinea per week. III
this way practical knowledge Of the work
demanded Of nurse can be obtained, and a
woman can ascertain whether she is capable
OF undertaking it professionally. Much Of
the work is obviously unsutci to young
girls, who should not be permitted TO attempt
it, and the more mature character is neces-
sary to stand tho strain on mind and body
Those who from evaneScent sentiment or
from impatence Of home control seek the hos
pital soon have rude awakening; the long
hours and mental tasks rapidly dispel all
romantic illusions, and only woman VINO is
aCtuated by the highest motives can hope to
successfully achieve the labors demanded of
her Lady probationers are commonly be-
lieved 10 firt with the student, to faint at
operations and 10 do no work but rs a fact
they never set al opportunity Of behaving
like this and are usually liked for their ex-
treme sympathy and kindness to sll and their
general trustworthiness. The lady Proha-
TONER is naturally shy in her new position,
and is far more likely to give annoyance
from her frightened reserve than from an
inclination to firt, and also more apt TO
overwork herself in her fresh enthusiasm
than TO become idle and lazv.
Constant training Of probationars is trying,
though, and we have some sympathy with
Sister Dora, who preferred doing all the
work herself 10 being bothered to show others
how 70 % it. Scrubbing tho floors used TO
be demanded Of al nurses no. many wears
